ABOUT THE GEMG

The Goldfields Environmental Management Group (GEMG) is a technical and professional body of people working to achieve environmental excellence. Most of our members are located in the city of Kalgoorlie-Boulder situated in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia.  

The GEMG provides a source of expertise and information on environmental management practices with a focus on arid and semi arid environments exploring such issues as protection of biodiversity, mine closure and rehabilitation, environmental management systems, environmental culture and management of water issues.

The GEMG achieves this by providing information and education to the public and industry with a key component being the sharing of knowledge and information between members.

The GEMG conducts biennial workshops which are an important component in achieving the above, and are highly regarded for their low cost, high standard and productivity.

The GEMG was formed in 1988 by a small number of individuals involved in land rehabilitation in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. Today we have approximately 200 members from a broad range of backgrounds such as government organisations, consultants, rehabilitation contractors and mine-site environmental personnel.
